What is 9.75% of 1600?

We need to find 9.75% of 1600.

The word "percent" means "per hundred" or "out of 100".

So 9.75% means 9.75 out of every 100.

To calculate with percentages, we first convert to a decimal.

Divide the percentage by 100:

9.75 ÷ 100 = 0.0975

This means 9.75% = 0.0975

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0975 × 1600 = 156

So 9.75% of 1600 = 156

You can also think of it as a fraction:

9.75% of 1600 = (9.75/100) × 1600

= (9.75 × 1600) / 100

= 15600 / 100

= 156
